The reigning U.S. women’s soccer player of the year, @alexmorgan 13 is the sport’s most marketable American star since Mia Hamm and the linchpin of Team USA’s bid to clinch a second consecutive #WorldCup title this summer. She leads the @uswnt into the tournament, which begins on June 7 in France, facing outsize expectations both on the field and off. The top-ranked women’s team outperforms the men’s team on the field—the men failed to qualify for last year’s World Cup—but its success highlights glaring inequities. Despite the popularity of the women’s team, the men are positioned to make substantially more money. And so on March 8, #InternationalWomensDay , the U.S. players took the unprecedented step of filing a federal gender-discrimination lawsuit against the the national governing body for the sport. Morgan’s name was listed first in the suit, which accuses U.S. Soccer of paying “only lip service" to gender equality. “Eventually, you just have to take a stand,” Morgan told TIME's @sgregory 31. “How come we’ve had to fight this whole time, year after year?” Her stand has inspired other women’s teams around the world to push for equal treatment and has transformed the U.S. women into a cause larger than soccer.
